Not many people seemed to notice the movement here, everyone was chatting and laughing among themselves.
The girl still held a golden bottle in her hand. There was not much wine left in it. She was stunned for a moment and then knelt down.
Ruan Yuyi helped her up in time and said warmly, "It doesn't matter." It's just a piece of clothing, just change it when it gets dirty.
After saying that, she smiled placatingly at the girl and left.
Fortunately, I had already considered a similar situation and prepared clean clothes in advance in the nearby palace.
She walked straight to the palace where the clothes were prepared, but she never saw that in a hidden corner, there was a man and a woman, who were rubbing each other's hair together, and they were so entangled that they could not separate themselves.
After the last plan failed, Bai Zhiqi had no choice but to provoke a guard, and then he learned the taste by eating the marrow.
She didn't originally want to look for him today, but she accidentally ran into him on duty. The two exchanged glances and arrived at this relatively hidden place one after another.
Bai Zhiqi was still raw and couldn't catch his breath, so he pushed the opponent hard.
The guard let go of her with a heavy breath, "Miss Bai is so sweet." He said hoarsely, with vulgar words in his mouth.
Her face was flushed, but her words were cold, "I'm not telling you not to come to me all the time. What if you are discovered?" She acquiesced to the guards' entanglement, but that didn't mean she gave up on entering the palace.
She was just greedy for the guard's vulgarity and straightforwardness. She thought that a man as gentle and handsome as the new emperor, who was like a banished immortal, was not as good as the guard in front of her in this matter.
As long as she doesn't say it and he doesn't say it, no one will know.
Yes, no one will know about this. She kept thinking silently, and her beating heartbeat slowed down a little.
The person in front of him had a soft figure and a sweet voice. How could he refuse? He held her face and covered her with it. He only let her go after she was annoyed until she was annoyed.
"Okay, I have to go." Bai Zhiqi frowned, and she went to break his hand. She didn't hide her affection when she was moved, and she didn't hide the disgust in her eyes now.
The guard was a martial arts practitioner after all. He held her hand and told her not to break free. "When can I see you again, little girl?"
She suppressed her impatience and quickly kissed him on the face perfunctorily, "When I become the empress, I will have your share. I will ask your Majesty to come over to you at that time. I don't want to see you any time."
, see you anytime."
The guard's heart moved, as if he had seen the happy days she talked about, and then he let her leave.
.
When the two separated, Ruan Yuyi happened to kick in front of her, so she did not see such a scene.
The floor-length skirt just now was too cumbersome for her, but now she changed into a lily skirt that just covered the uppers of her shoes, and she felt much lighter while walking.
She was walking slowly and suddenly heard someone talking behind the corner.
Someone with a clear voice said, "The rules in this palace are really complicated. Didn't I already tell you that I wouldn't come? And I got a lesson from my mother in vain."
"Oh, Miss, Concubine Jin has invited you here in black and white. It's a great honor. How can I refuse it?" Another person persuaded in a low voice.
Ruan Yuyi paused when she heard someone mentioning herself.
The person behind the corner continued, "This Concubine Jin is really beautiful. How could she end up in this place that eats people?"
"Miss, you can't say that -" Her miss is really a big-hearted person. She arranges bad things about the palace and doesn't know how to keep it. There are people coming and going here, so just let people listen.
Ruan Yuyi couldn't help but chuckle.
"Who?" the girl shouted sharply.
She didn't hide away and walked out, "This is me."
The maid next to the girl was startled and hurriedly bowed and saluted. Seeing that her master was not moving, she seemed to be in a daze. She secretly thought it was embarrassing and secretly nudged her young lady with her elbow.
The girl finally came to her senses and was about to salute when she was stopped by Ruan Yuyi.
"Aren't you impatient with the rules in the palace? Just skip this ceremony." She found it interesting and couldn't help but talk to the girl a few more words, "Is it my honor to know the girl's name?"
I told her not to be polite, but the girl really stood still and replied loudly, "My maid, Bai Zhiyou, has met your empress."
She had read the guest list and had some impression of this name. "The daughter of General Bai?" She was also the mother of the Queen Mother.
"Exactly." Bai Zhiyou has always been proud of her father. She smiles cleanly and her eyes are bright, like the surface of a lake after the fog has cleared.
Ruan Yuyi was shocked by the clarity in her eyes. She lowered her eyes and whispered, "What you said is true."
"What is the empress referring to?" Unexpectedly, Bai Zhiyou had a very good ear, and she could hear her clearly as if the breeze was blowing through her words.
"——A place that eats people."
Now she truly realized what Zhao Rong said to her when she first entered the palace - Lin Gong, the Immortal Palace, looked at the scenery, but she didn't know how ordinary the bones were underneath.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Bai Zhiyou stopped answering and just said vaguely, "My daughter is angry because she was scolded by her mother. It's just nonsense. Don't take it to heart."
Ruan Yuyi glanced at her and hummed softly.
Then, the two of them went back to their seats.
.
There are square tables scattered in the courtyard. Since it is a fun banquet, no distinction is made between high and low. Everyone can choose someone they are familiar with to accompany them. Therefore, there are many people walking around the banquet, making it a prosperous scene.
Several concubines sat at the same table.
When Ruan Yuyi returned to the banquet, Xu Bin was nowhere to be seen. The palace attendant standing beside her replied that she had gone to look for her family.
So there were only three people left on the table. She was not familiar with another Chen Cai, so she chose to sit next to Yan Baolin.
Speaking of which, it wasn't just that she was not familiar with Cheng Cai. During these days in the palace, she saw that Chen Cai was alone, and she didn't see anyone talking to her.
This Chen Cairen was a sharp-tongued man. He usually didn't talk much, but when he did speak he was always sarcastic. Perhaps because of this, he gradually became unaccompanied.
Ruan Yuyi remembered that Yan Baolin had a sweet tooth, and saw that most of the Ruyi cake in front of her was gone, so she guessed that she liked to eat, so she pushed her untouched piece towards her, "If my sister doesn't eat enough, I will
There’s more here.”
Yan Baolin still had a half-bitten Ruyi Cake in his hand. After hearing this, he said, "If you don't have enough, it's just a mouthful. If you see the bottom like this, there will be something else."
Her tone was so casual that Ruan Yuyi didn't know how to reply for a moment, and her hand froze against the porcelain plate.
She pursed her lips and put the pastry back in front of her. People didn't want to chat with her, so there was no reason for her to get involved.
Chen Cairen's eyes wandered between the two of them, and he suddenly sneered, "Yan Baolin wants to learn, but he doesn't learn it thoroughly. It's a waste of all your efforts."
This was said without any end, and when both of them looked at her, she remained silent.
No one spoke for a while, and their table became the most deserted.
Ruan Yuyi could only keep sipping the scented tea to feel that this time was easier. After half a cup of scented tea, someone called to her side, "Your Majesty, our lady would like to invite you to sit over there."
